The ADB announced Dec 17 a new US $20 million loan, to be used for improving
basic water and sanitation services in seven provincial towns across the
country.
The ADB cited Cambodia's dilapidated urban infrastructure
following two decades of civil strife, as well as the strains resulting from the
rapid influx of people moving into the towns from the
countryside.
Specifically, the Provincial Towns Improvement Project
will:
- Improve sanitation conditions among poor communities in Battambang, Kompong
Cham, and Sihanoukville, with the involvement of an NGO and extensive community
participation.
- Upgrade or rehabilitate water production facilities.
- Construct a sewage collection and transmission network and a treatment plant
in Sihanoukville.
- Recommend legal and administrative structures, and action plans for related
revenue generation.
